Excerpt from A History of Belfast: With Introductory Remarks on Acadia Doctor Herman Abbot had collected many facts, with the view of compiling a history of the town of Belfast. All the good purposes and labours of that worthy man were ended in his death, which occured, in the midst of his great usefulness, and filled society with grief His memoranda, by his administrator were placed in the possession of the author, who has found them accurate and useful. And that no part of them should be lost to the public, the manuscript is lodged in the Town Clerk's office. The manuscripts of Chadwicke and of Mitchell, and the books of the proprietors of the township, the town records, and the records in the land office and the office of Secretary of State of Massachusetts have been carefully consulted. The aim was a compilation of facts, so far as opportunity and talent has permitted, in both which the author is much restricted, they are faithfully collected and recorded. Should this sketch preserve a single incident, or material, suitable to be used hereafter when the history of the State shall be written, this essay will not have been altogether in vain.
